I've been biting my tongue with these Liberty Harbor posts, but if I bite any harder, my tongue's going to fall off.
Unless you were paid by/related to/friends with the developer, I'm not sure why you would make such bold and inaccurate statements.
I've also "personally toured many other sites, ie. Pier House, Sugar House, Trump, 77 Hudson," et al.
Sugar House offers Viking appliances and historical charm! 77 Hudson offers true luxury amenities! Trump has concierges that do more than simply listen to their iPods all day! And most have reputable property management teams! Plus, let's not forget those buildings offer a view.
The Sutton claims to be the "Dream Worth Living," but at the end of the day, you get what you'd get at any run of the mill condo building... only here you can tack on an inept management team and a developer who still controls the condo board.
I will give you that Liberty Harbor's construction quality appears decent in the sales office and the units do have some modern bells and whistles, but as people who live in Liberty Harbor (renters and homeowners alike) can attest, it's disappointingly subpar and isn't holding up to the test of time... especially for the price. Unfortunately, the guinea pigs who bought the sales pitches "hook, line, and sinker" had to find out the hard way.
As for the rentals, they did it backwards. The amenities aren't finished... and now some of the promised amenities that helped close many a sale simply aren't happening. The refrigerators aren't full-sized. And if you're taller than 6 ft, make sure you step inside the shower stall before you sign a lease... you may be too tall to shower in your own apartment at the Zenith. A month ago, burly movers who have seen it all were hesitant to move people into the Regent because wires were hanging from the ceiling and the floors and walls were unfinished.
The wires have since been tucked, but neither the Regent nor the Zenith are completely finished. The Zenith has been open just shy of a year. You'd think the management team would offer concessions, but it has not. Granted, this is a new construction development, but gimme a break. Don't open up if you aren't ready.
Again, I will give you that the Liberty Harbor units look nice from the outside. But just like your mama told you... it's what's on the inside that counts.
